    Corsica trip with my wife, 2019. A paper map doesn’t need batteries, it’s big, you can annotate it easily. Plus it has that fresh-off-the-press scent 👌

      Also IGN (Institut géographique national) maps are amazing

          They are very precise, cover the whole french territory, are all in the same format, follow the same standards and the paper maps are not too expensive. There are topographical maps at a 1:25000 scale, and roadmaps at a 1:250000 scale. And these paper maps are as sturdy as they can be, my dad has been rocking some of them for almost his entire life.

          I guess I just get too excited about state funded institutions that provide good service to the public and still exist in 2024. Them paper maps can really be a lifesaver when you’re hiking in the more remote parts of France though

            There is no such thing as being too excited about a public service/institution ! I’ll havetoo look oit for these IGN maps, thanks for the recommendation
